Dubai to reward residents choosing to be healthier with shopping vouchers

Dubai residents who adopt a healthier lifestyle, such as eating salads, walking a couple of kilometres or choosing sugar-free snacks, will be rewarded with free gym meberships, movie tickets and shopping vouchers as part of the emirate’s latest healthy living drive.

The reward system will be launched in March next year by the DUbai Health Authority, in partnership with the private sector, and will be linked to the mandatory health insurance cover, a senior official told Gulf News.
